Canada Lands Company is hosting community pop-up events and an open house in early June to share updates about the Arbo Neighbourhood, including the next phase of development, “Phase 2”.
Canada Lands Company has been working with the local community to plan Arbo (formerly William Baker) since 2019. In early 2025, the City of Toronto approved the zoning for Phase 1, and the site preparations began a few weeks ago.
More information about Arbo and our May 2026 Bulletin can be found at https://arbodownsview.ca/background/
What’s next?
Canada Lands is now advancing the development application for Phase 2. This will build on the overall guiding principles and vision for Arbo, with some updates to reflect the new Downsview Area Secondary Plan.
At the pop-ups and open house, Canada Lands and their consultant team will share information about:
- the Emerging Concept Plan for Phase 2
- the current Site Preparation Work in Phase 1
- planned Park Designs for Phase 1
